FINAL TALLY:92 SHOT,16 DETHRONED AS "KINGS" AND CEMETARY BOUND IN CHICAGO.
(ZH)Every July 4th weekend police in Chicago brace for an uptick in violence - even more than is usual when typical weekends average about 40 shootings - and this holiday weekend was no different, easily registering as the deadliest and most violent this year given the total death count. New York City has also been witnessing a steady uptick in seemingly random shootings and violence, including brazen acts committed in broad daylight in heavily trafficked areas, such as the recent Times Square wounding of a US Marine.
On Monday the Chicago Sun-Times has tallied 92 people shot over the long July 4th weekend, with 16 killed. The Sun-Times database shows the numbers killed to be a weekend high for all of 2021 so far.
GRA:I'm proud of them,but then,I expect a lot out of the blacks in Chicago and blacks all across this formerly great country of ours.
